Full-Tuition Scholarship Competition

Pitt-Greensburg is committed to providing an outstanding Pitt education at an affordable cost. We recognize the financial challenge associated with higher education and strive to make a Pitt-Greensburg experience attainable for our students.

We are also committed to welcoming the brightest students to Pitt-Greensburg where they will grow both personally and professionally working alongside our award-winning faculty, caring staff and enthusiastic student body.

Pitt-Greensburg will award 3 full-tuition scholarships to freshmen students beginning their education in Fall 2018. The award will cover tuition only (in-state rate) for up to 4 years if the student meets renewal criteria of 3.5 GPA each academic year. This prestigious scholarship has a value of over $50,000.

Criteria for Eligibility

Qualified students are invited to apply and participate in the competition. In order to be eligible, the student must meet the following criteria:

1. Admitted as a full-time freshman student to Pitt-Greensburg before January 15, 2018 (Direct applicants only; option students are not eligible to apply).
2. Achieved a cumulative high school GPA of 3.8 or higher (at time of application).
3. Scored a minimum of 1250 on SAT; 26 on ACT.
4. Student must be a United States citizen.

Instructions for Application

If the student meets those criteria, he/she is eligible to compete for a Full-Tuition Scholarship. Please follow the Application Instructions linked below to apply.

The envelope must be postmarked by 5pm January 22 at the latest for your application to receive consideration. Students will be sent a confirmation email once the application is received and found to be complete.

Finalists will be selected based on the application and essay and invited to participate in an on-campus interview event on February 10, 2018. Winners will be notified no later than February 28, 2018.

Note: Full-tuition scholarship winners will forfeit the original merit scholarship offer made to them at the time of admission. Students who compete but are not selected to receive a full-tuition award may be selected to receive a small increase in their original scholarship offer.

Students who are dependents of University or UPMC employees are welcome to compete for the scholarship. In the event that a student with a tuition benefit is selected to receive the Full-Tuition Scholarship, the family would have to choose one or the other. The student cannot receive the Full-Tuition Scholarship AND use the tuition benefit as both cover tuition costs and are not applicable to other charges (room, board, fees).
